Code Block

xml

    <bean id="serviceBean" class="org.apache.cxf.systest.jaxrs.security.BookStore"/>
    <bean id="samlHandler" class="org.apache.cxf.rs.security.saml.SamlFormInHandler"/>
    
    <!-- same as in the Enveloped SAML Assertions section --> 

The client code is the same as in the SAML assertions in Authorization header section except than an instance of SamlFormOutInterceptor has to be registered:

Code Block
java
java

bean.getOutInterceptors().add(new SamlFormOutInterceptor());

...

When SAML assertions are received on the server side, they are validated to make sure that the enveloped signatures are correct. SubjectConfirmation methods (sender-vouches, holder-of-key, bearer) are also checked.
The validation can be delegated to STS if needed. By default, server side SAML handlers have a "samlValidator" property set to an instance of org.apache.ws.security.validate.SamlAssertionValidator which does a thorough validation of the assertion. If needed org.apache.cxf.ws.security.trust.STSSamlAssertionValidator STSTokenValidator can be set instead which will use STS to validate the assertion.
Custom validators extending WSS4J SamlAssertionValidator and doing the additional application-specific validation can be registered if needed.

...

SAML assertions may contain so-called claims which are represented by a sequence of SAML AttributeStatements containing one or more Attributes, for example:

Code Block

xml

<saml2:Assertion>
 <!-- ... -->
 <saml2:AttributeStatement>
    <saml2:Attribute NameFormat="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims"
                 Name="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/role" 
                 FriendlyName="subject-role">
       <saml2:AttributeValue xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xsi:type="xs:string">user</saml2:AttributeValue>
    </saml2:Attribute>
    <saml2:Attribute NameFormat="http://claims/authentication"
                     Name="http://claims/authentication-format">
        <saml2:AttributeValue xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xsi:type="xs:string">password</saml2:AttributeValue>
    </saml2:Attribute>
 </saml2:AttributeStatement>
 <!-- ... -->
</saml2:Assertion>

Here is a simple code fragment:

Code Block
java
java

import org.apache.cxf.rs.security.saml.authorization.Claim;
import org.apache.cxf.rs.security.saml.authorization.Claims;

@Path("/bookstore")
public class SecureClaimBookStore {
    
    @POST
    @Path("/books")
    @Produces("application/xml")
    @Consumes("application/xml")
    @Claims({ 
        @Claim({"admin" }),
        @Claim(name = "http://claims/authentication-format", 
               format = "http://claims/authentication", 
               value = {"fingertip", "smartcard" })
    })
    public Book addBook(Book book) {
        return book;
    }
    
}

...

Note that in the above example, a Claim with the name "http://claims/authentication-format" has two values, 'fingertip' and 'smartcard'. By default, in order to meet this Claim, Subject needs to have a Claim which has either a 'fingertip' or 'smartcard' value. If it is expected that Subject needs to have a Claim which has both 'fingertip' and 'smartcard' values, then the following change needs to be done:

Code Block
java
java

import org.apache.cxf.security.claims.authorization.Claim;
import org.apache.cxf.security.claims.authorization.Claims;

@Path("/bookstore")
public class SecureClaimBookStore {
    
    @POST
    @Path("/books")
    @Produces("application/xml")
    @Consumes("application/xml")
    @Claims({ 
        @Claim({"admin" }),
        @Claim(name = "http://claims/authentication-format", 
               format = "http://claims/authentication", 
               value = {"fingertip", "smartcard" },
               matchAll = true)
    })
    public Book addBook(Book book) {
        return book;
    }
    
}

Claims can be specified using individual @Claim annotation, they can be set at the class level and overridden at the method level and finally a lax mode of check can be specified:

Code Block
java
java

import org.apache.cxf.security.claims.authorization.Claim;
import org.apache.cxf.security.claims.authorization.Claims;

@Path("/bookstore")
@Claim({"user"})
public class SecureClaimBookStore {
    
    @POST
    @Path("/books")
    @Produces("application/xml")
    @Consumes("application/xml")
    @Claims({ 
        @Claim({"admin" }),
        @Claim(name = "http://claims/authentication-format", 
               format = "http://claims/authentication", 
               value = {"fingertip", "smartcard" },
               matchAll = true)
    })
    public Book addBook(Book book) {
        return book;
    }

    @GET
    @Claim(name = "http://claims/authentication-format", 
               format = "http://claims/authentication", 
               value = {"password" },
               mode = ClaimMode.LAX)
    public Book getBook() {
        //...
    }

    @GET
    public BookList getBookList() {
        //...
    }
    
    
}

...

org.apache.cxf.rs.security.saml.authorization.ClaimsAuthorizingInterceptor enforces the CBAC rules. This filter can be overridden and configured with the rules directly which can be useful if no Claim-related annotations are expected in the code. Map nameAliases and formatAliases properties are supported to make @Claim annotations look a bit simpler, for example:

Code Block
java
java

@Claim(name = "auth-format", format = "authentication", value = {"password" })

...

Have a look please at this server configuration example:

Code Block
xml
xml


<bean id="serviceBeanClaims" class="org.apache.cxf.systest.jaxrs.security.saml.SecureClaimBookStore"/>
<bean id="samlEnvHandler" class="org.apache.cxf.rs.security.saml.SamlEnvelopedInHandler">
 <property name="securityContextProvider">
    <bean class="org.apache.cxf.systest.jaxrs.security.saml.CustomSecurityContextProvider"/>
 </property>
</bean>
    
<bean id="claimsHandler" 
     class="org.apache.cxf.rs.security.saml.authorization.ClaimsAuthorizingFilter">
    <property name="securedObject" ref="serviceBeanClaims"/>   
</bean>

<jaxrs:server address="/saml-claims"> 
       <jaxrs:serviceBeans>
          <ref bean="serviceBeanClaims"/>
       </jaxrs:serviceBeans>
       <jaxrs:providers>
          <ref bean="samlEnvHandler"/>
          <ref bean="claimsHandler"/>
       </jaxrs:providers>
</jaxrs:server>

...

For example, given this code:

Code Block
java
java

import org.springframework.security.annotation.Secured;

@Path("/bookstore")
@Claim({"user"})
public class SecureBookStore {
    
    @POST
    @Secured("admin")
    public Book addBook(Book book) {
        return book;
    }
}

where @Secured can be replaced with @RoledAllowed if needed, the following configuration will do it:
